It's much more a mindset of the party leaders than the rank-and-file. Those of us working from below will have to make sure they elected Dems don't "fall in line" with any war.

It wasn't a comment against the base. I know that virtually all other Dems on the grassroots level, would instinctually get in touch with their inner Barbara Lees.

The base has learned from Iraq/Afghanistan/Libya. That part goes without saying.
